The first seal of seven is broken and earth's judgment begins: A voice like thunder roars "Come!" and summons the four horsemen-- Pointing in the direction of the four winds they await the word-- Then the four horsemen are sent to the four corners of the earth The White Horseman carries a bow and wears a commanding crown: He cries "Victory!" and rides for the Lord who will never go down-- The Red Horseman wages woeful war and slaughters with a sword: He vows to take peace from the earth and rages riding forward-- The Black Horseman holds the money scales of commerce and industry: He rides into the earth and causes the false economic peace to cease-- The Pale Green Horseman is disasterous Death and the Grave: He rides fast for famine and unleashes disease in wave after wave-- In the end this is the first four Seals of seven--there are three more to come-- Repent and turn to the Lord right now my friend, while you're welcome...

Revelation 6 (NLT)

The Lamb Breaks the First Six Seals

1 As I watched, the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals on the scroll.
Then I heard one of the four living beings say with a voice like thunder, “Come!”

2 I looked up and saw a white horse standing there. Its rider carried a bow, and
a crown was placed on his head. He rode out to win many battles and gain the
victory.

3 When the Lamb broke the second seal, I heard the second living being say,
“Come!”

4 Then another horse appeared, a red one. Its rider was given a mighty sword and
the authority to take peace from the earth. And there was war and slaughter
everywhere.

5 When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third living being say, “Come!”
I looked up and saw a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales in
his hand.

6 And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, “A loaf of wheat
bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive
oil and wine.”

7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being say,
“Come!”

8 I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named
Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over
one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild
animals.
